Show Notes
Mission Hospital in Buncombe County, owned by HCA, faces scrutiny from federal inspectors due to staffing shortages and patient safety issues. The hospital received Immediate Jeopardy tags from CMS, signaling serious risks to patients. CMS has threatened to cut funding, but this time, they seem more determined. Legislator Amy Mayfield senses real impatience from the feds. Bipartisan heat is building, with Rep Chuck Edwards proposing the Healthcare Accountability Act to give CMS more power over bad hospitals. HCAs revenue and stock are up, but the hospitals future hangs in the balance as it works to improve patient safety.
